I have recessed lighting in my home with non-serviceable LEDs.

I would love to find a replacement that supports multiple color temperatures.

Suggestions solicited!

My house has recessed LEDs throughout with hardware switches to control the colour temperature between five options. My approach has been to set colour temperature based on room (warmer in living rooms, basement, cooler in kitchen, etc.). I then use separate lamps or light fixtures to fill in where I want different colour temperatures. (Bedrooms and offices have ceiling fans with warm lights as well as some hue lights with colour temp that changes based on time, kitchen and dining room have warmer pendant lights / chandelier, etc.)

Some manufacturers make dumb bulbs that dim-to-warm, which are very nice for some applications. (Dim-to-warm recessed LEDs exist, but they weren’t optimal for my application.)

I just replaced everything with high-hats.

The decision was made easier when the living room ceiling collapsed on me.
